Joonyer, Yes just remove the big screw at the bottom, rear of the transaxle, which is a 10mm allen or a 3/8" square if it's an early unit, to drain. Put some "Permatex #2 form-a-gasket" on the plug threads and a new copper seal ring if you have one, then pour your new juice into the same tube where the dipstick is. You'll need a funnel with a small tip. The manual says 4.01 L but just put 3 quarts or less in (because you're not draining it all), wait a few minutes and then check and add until the dipstick is happy (engine off of course). Then drive it around the block once or twice, let it settle and recheck. "Redline" seems to be pretty good stuff, just be sure to use their 'manual transmission oil' product. Yea, it's a transaxle but don't use hypoid gear oil. Castrol 10w30 has kept all of my units happy since the 20th century. Cheers.
